Bearcat…I can def relate with all that you mentioned, if i even rub my hand or elsewhere I feel sudden burning,then swelling. I’m currently in really bad shape, neck/shoulders are killin me/ arms are both blotchy & purple looking,hands/arms are very tight/veins protruding.I’m goin for yet another MRI on Monday b/c doc said the swelling/increased pressure in my head/neck may be cutting off circulation to my arms.
